The financial planning career path continues to grow (41% by 2016, according to Money Magazine and Payscale.com), and the Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) designation represents the most well-respected and rigorous certification in this field. To maintain this credential once it has been earned, CFP® professionals must complete 30 hours of CFP® Board-approved continuing education every two years. As an approved CE provider, Surgent offers a variety of CFP®-approved live seminars and live webinars to meet this requirement.
